The touch is a form of communication extremely sophisticated.
From the very light and delicate to a deeper and more direct one, the contact with someone stimulates the body and its ability to receive and to feel himself, or herself.
On a non-verbal exchange we will discover different ways of being together through the touch. Listen and acting following our perceptions in a dialogue that gives priority to shared state of presence.
